Each part of Veja's 'V-12' sneakers is sourced in an environmentally friendly way, from the vegan leather trims made from organic cotton-canvas to the rubber soles sourced from the Amazon Rainforest. They're constructed from lightweight, water-repellent B-mesh that's comprised of recycled plastic bottles and trimmed in faux suede that's resin-coated using a less toxic process than most synthetic materials require.
